 It may be news to some persons that persistent rubbing with oil night and morning will remove scars. Olive oil will answer, but neatsfOot oil is rather more rapid in its effects. In the case of burns, when the tendons are stiff and contracted, rubbing with oil will render the part affected almost as supple as before the injury. In severe cases the rubbing must be continued for an hour, morning and evening.-The Household.
 Carefully gather the scraps from the table and give them to your fowls. There is no kind of food which will pro duce a more liberal supply of eggs. There are hundreds of families who throw these scraps in the waste basket and buy corn for the fowls, where the former is far the best feed for egg pro duction. Corn and grain should also be fed, but only in small quantities dur ing the hot summer Chicago Journal.
 Some varieties of sweet apples are such abundant bearers that the trees are worth keeping if the fruit can only be used for feed. There is a good deal of nutriment in sweet apples, and they are relished by every kind of stock. Given in moderation and with other feed they are good for every thing. It is because COWS, if allowed their run in an orchard, will gorge and thus injure themselves, that apples have the repu- tation of drying up cows milky E. Farmer.
 The sweet potato is to the South what the common potato is to Ireland or Germany. It forms a very large part of the food of the negroes and poor whites-in fact, it frequently takes the place of bread to large extent. The favorite way of cooking it here is to bake it in the oven or in the ashes. The children are fond of burying the pota- toes in the ashes at night, so that they may slowly cook all night. The South ern-grown sweet potatoes are larger Inan those grown dG Une NOftn. 1HOSe raised in Mexico are very sweet indeed. N. !. Telegram.
 "A correspondent of the Rural NeW Yorker saves h1s Bartlott poars so that they make fine eating two months after those of his neighbors have gone. Take a stout box and line it with paper. The bottom is covered an inch deep with wheat bran. The pears are carefully picked, wrapped separately in thin pa per, and packed deeply in the bran un- til the bottom is covered. Then this layer is covered with bran to the depth of an inch, and another layer of pears is placed in the same way. This is continued until the box is full, when the cover is tackled on and the box set away in cool, dry place. The pears retain their fine flavor and color.
